Now, when I see how many important and critical positions in HR are filled by folks from premier B school backgrounds, I see only 20% at max. Check LinkedIn and you will find this. Does that mean, many companies do not want all that what a premier B school guy can produce? Probably yes! Look at many LinkedIn job postings and you will see, many a places , there is not mention of education and premier college background, they just ask for numbers of years. Arguments in favor of not necessarily getting hung upon the premier tag is, cost and affordability, ignorance and play safe. It will be interesting to survey with stakeholders including employees and business leaders and check what difference they have seen in terms of results from people from premier vs not premier B school backgrounds.Questions to ask--1. What great changes have been made by the premier B school person, which was not made so far was not seen, realized or not being able to make by a non premier B school guy?2. What approach did the premier B school guy follow which was way above the approach followed ever followed by the non premier B school guy?3. What value and prestige/importance that the premier B school guy created for position, department he represented that was not done by a non-premier B school guy?4. What systems, processes has the premier B school guy has created that was not available or not imagined so far and that helped create value for all stakeholders?5. What issues and challenges has the premier B school guy brought to discussion and attention of senior management that was never ever articulated by a non-premier B school person so far? 6. What is the effectiveness scores of HR programs that has been launched by a premier vs Non premier B school guy?Add comparators that you want to add and try and answer them.

Which means linking it to your business strategy – and the needs of your employees as well as your organisation. Our Total Reward Framework helps you optimise reward, no matter how challenging the conditions.

TV Rao's article in TOI Ascent, Feb 13, had some interesting discussion on 5 levels of HR Managers, based on what they do. I just created my own metrics and placed my descriptions in columns called, "Level of work", Hierarchy level' and "Action proposed". I urge you to look at the Level 5 Definition of Jim Collins and check what is missing at all the levels of HR of TV Rao is, "Leadership".
